The United States allows adolescents aged 12 to 15 to receive a booster dose of the Covid-19 vaccine. In duplex from Washington for the 20 Hours of France 2, journalist Camille Guttin takes stock of this announcement.
In the United States, authorities are trying to slow the progression of the Omicron variant. The Covid-19 vaccination campaign takes a new step on Monday, January 3. Adolescents 12 to 15 years old are allowed to get the booster dose. “To make this decision, the US health authorities relied on Israeli studies conducted on adolescents 12 to 15 years old who have already obtained this booster dose. The results are clear: there is no risk, there is no risk. there is no danger for children “, reports journalist Camille Guttin, in duplex from Washington in the 20 Hours of France 2.
She adds that the American authorities recommend “reduce the duration between the second and the third dose to five months instead of six currently”. In the United States, the strategy is to immunize children as much as possible with one goal in mind: “keep schools open as long as possible”, concludes Camille Guttin.
